Overview
Singular Chef, Inc. ("Singular Chef", "the Company", “our” or "we") was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on April 09, 2009. The Company is a development stage company that intends to provide specialized step-by-step cooking tutorials through our website for monthly subscribers and on pay-per-view basis.
We plan on targeting our m arketing efforts on subscribers that are interested in quick, tasty and easy-to-prepare recipes.
Plan of Operation
The Company has not yet generated any revenue from its operations. As of the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2010 we had $417 of cash on hand, at April 30, 2010 we had $261 cash on hand. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $7,350 in the quarter ended October 31, 2010. In the quarter ended October 31, 2009 the total expenses were in the amount of $5,401. These operating expenses were comprised of professional auditor fees, office and general expenses.
Our current cash holdings will not satisfy our liquidity requirements and we will require additional financing to pursue our planned business activities. We have registered 3,200,000 of shares from our common stock for sale to the public. Our registration statement became effective on May 03, 2010 and we are in the process of seeking equity financing to fund our operations over the next 12 months.
Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.
If Singular Chef is unsuccessful in raising the additional proceeds through a private placement offering it will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be very difficult for a new development stage company to secure. Therefore, the company is highly dependent upon the success of the anticipated private placement offering described herein and failure thereof would result in Singular Chef having to seek capital from other resources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the company. However, if such financing were available, because Singular Chef is a development stage company with no operations to date, it would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt
10
financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If Singular Chef cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its common stock or secure debt financing it would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in Singular Chef common stock would lose all of their investment.
Our specific goal will be marketing Singular Chef’s subscription-based website to individuals that are interested in prepare various quick, tasty and easy dishes. We intend to accomplish the foregoing through the following miles tones:
1.
We plan to initiate our business operations, after raising enough funds, establishing our office and acquiring a computer and office items. We estimate that establishing our offices will take up to 60 days. We intend to retain a web designer to fully develop our website. We believe that it will cost about $20,000 to establish our office with the necessary computer equipment/software and website. We do not intend to hire employees. Our sole officer and director will handle our administrative duties.
2.
As soon as our office is operational, we intend to contact cooking consultants to teach different kinds of easily prepared recipes for our website. We plan to tape the chefs preparing their recipes thereby creating pictorial albums available for online viewing. The website will also include tutorials and still pictures, taken by a consultant photographer and filmmaker. We believe that this stage will take about 90 days and it will cost around $23,500.
3.
As soon as our website is operational, we will begin our marketing campaign in order to find s ponsors to whom we will offer spaces in the website, use their ingredients and equipments for the tutorials. We will advertise in culinary art magazines, newspaper and print informative flyers and send direct mailers. We believe that it will cost a minimum of $25,000 to implement our marketing and sales campaign. Marketing is an ongoing matter that will begin on the sixth month after the beginning of our business operations and will continue during the life of our operations.
Management does not plan to hire additional employees at this time. Our President will be responsible for the initial product sourcing. We intend to hire sales representatives initially on a commission only basis to keep administrative overhead to a minimum. We will use third party web designers to build and maintain our website.
We do not expect to be purchasing or selling plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangement
The company is dependent upon the sale of its common shares to obtain the funding necessary to carry out its business plan. Our President, Sylvain Petrari has undertaken to provide the Company with operating capital to sustain its business over the next twelve month period, as the expenses are incurred, in the form of a non-secured loan. However, there is no contract in place or written agreement securing these agreements. Investors should be aware that Mr. Petrari’ ;s intentions are not under contract or agreement with the Company.
Other than the above described situation the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's
11
financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not required.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is also our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the design and effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO/CFO concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in disclosure controls and procedures which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment as the Company had only one officer (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC Guidelines; and (iii) inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems including insufficient disaster recovery plans; and (iv) no written whistleblower policy. Our CEO/CFO plans to implement appropriate disclosure controls and procedures to remediate these material weaknesses, including (i) appointing additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting and a whistle blower policy; and (iii) implement sufficient security and restricted access measures regarding our computer systems and implement a disaster recovery plan.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affe cted, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
